"Shivaay are you ready for the meeting?" Yes he calls me Shivaay when we are alone. He is my best friend. But he will address me as boss when other people are around just to show-off how professional he is.

"Okay."

"But we are heading to a mall for this meeting."

"Isn't the meeting supposed to be happening in the client's hotel?"

"Yes but he had to check out for some reason and he wants to complete this meeting as soon as possible. So he requested to meet in a restaurant in the nearby mall."

"Okay. That's better. We can buy something for Druv and Riya."

"For Riya?" He asked raising an eye brow.

"Yes I need to apologize to her."

"Are you sure you just want to apologize not anything else?"

"Nothing else."

"Okay Okay." He said in a moking tone.

We reached the mall where we are ssupposed to have a meeting.

Riya

"We are here for more than an hour and you girls haven't chosen a single dress." Rudra complained.

"It's my wedding Rudy everything should be perfect." Tanya replied.

"What about you Riyu? Why didn't you pick anything till now. You usually take less time to make choice."

"Yes but it's your wedding Ru! My best friend's wedding. I should look gorgeous."

"Well whatever you wear Tanya will be more gorgeous ."

"Aha you got a wife so you are neglecting your best friend's feelings now. I get it."

"That's not what I meant."

"I get it. Bye."

"Where?" Tanya asked getting tensed.

"To try this. I picked a dress and rushed towards the trail room."

I can hear Tanya scolding Ru for being rude. But it's common for us. Ru always used to mock me and Nik(Manik) used to teach him a lesson for me. I really enjoy when Ru gets scolded.

After we both completed selecting our dresses for emergency situations (yes we already completed our shopping for the functions these are only for the situations if some mashup occurs in last minute) Tanya wanted to have something so we went to the restaurant.

Shivaay

I was having a meeting with my foreign client when she walked in with two others and took a seat few tables away from me.

I can see her clearly. She is looking gorgeous even in those normal clothes. Her long silky hair is floating in the air due to the air conditioner situated just above her. They ordered something and I  kept looking at her from my place. Okay I was literally staring at her.

"Boss do you want to change your seat?" Rahul asked in a mocking tone with a smirk on his lips.

"Damn this idiot found out." I said to myself before redirecting my focus towards the client.

By the time I completed my meeting she completed her dinner and was about to leave. She bumped into the nearby table and was about to fall. I was about to react but the person with her grabbed her hand. I was unable to see his face because of his sitting position. Even now I can't see his face. Who is this person? I was getting restless. They walked out hand-in hand.

While I was saying good-bye to my client rahul went to get our car.

By the time I came out she was already gone.

"Searching for someone? Naah lemme ask again. Searching for some Riya?" Rahul asked smirking like a fool.

"No why would I?"

"I thought you were curious to know who was with her."

"Did you see him?"

"Curious aha."

"Not at all. By the way who was it?" Damn me why can't I just keep my mouth shut?

"I didn't see him but.."

"But?" Why the hell is he giving pauses like it's some idiotic game show?

"But you don't need to worry. He is just her friend and he is getting married soon."

"With whom?" Why did I shout?

"Cool man. Not with Riya. He is marrying Tanya."

"Who's Tanya?"

"She is the daughter of one of our raw material suppliers."

"Do we have an invitation?"

"I guess. But why?"

"We are attending that wedding."

"What?" Rahul was so shocked with my statement.

"He is our supplier. We should take part in their happiness."

"How come you have never took part in any other suppliers happiness? Are you going there for their happiness or your happiness?"

"My happiness?"

"Yes your oriya"

"What?"

"I said oreo. Do you want some oreo milkshake?"

"No." I can see him smiling but chose to ignore it.
